Registration for this on-demand training will close on June 10, 2027. It is recommended that you view “What AI Is-and Isn’t-for Early Childhood”On-Demand as a prerequisite.
This session brings AI to life in early childhood classrooms through real-world educator examples and Gemini demonstrations. Participants will learn how to use AI to create visual schedules, generate social stories, and support inclusive communication with families—especially for children with disabilities and IEP/504 plans. With a focus on alignment to IELDS and GOLD, this session empowers teachers to use AI as a behind-the-scenes partner that supports, rather than replaces, human connection and responsive teaching.
